Getting started with Programmable Search Engine
Programmable Search Engine Terms of Service
Welcome to Programmable Search Engine! By using Programmable Search Engine (the "Service"), you ("You") accept and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use") with Google Inc., and its subsidiaries or affiliated companies ("Google").

1. Service.

1.1 Description of Service. Programmable Search Engine assists You in providing customized Web search services on the Site (defined below) by utilizing the Google search engine. For purposes of the Terms of Use, "Site" shall mean the Web site or sites on which You place JavaScript or similar programming ("Code") which renders the Google search box (or other means used by users of the Site ("End Users") to enter a search query ("Query")) on the Site ("Search Box"). All Queries sent from the Site to Google shall comply with the technical specifications that Google may provide from time to time, and and must originate from the Site. Google will receive Queries from You at Google's network interface, process the Queries using Google's search engine and display search results ("Results") on a Results Page. For purposes of the Terms of Use, "Results Page" is defined as the Google hosted or controlled Web page that contains and displays to an End User the Results from the Service.

The Results displayed by the Service will be determined by some or all of the following: (a) the web sites over which the search is to be restricted or filtered, as provided by you in the Service; (b) labels created by You; or (c) other Service features that Google may make available from time to time as described in the Service documentation, which can be found at http://www.google.com/support/customsearch/bin/answer.py?answer=1714300 or other URL that Google may make available from time to time at its sole discretion.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the Service may be modified or terminated at any time by Google for any reason, and without notice, without liability to You, any End User or any third party. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Service shall be subject to the Terms of Use.

1.2 Modifications. Google may modify the Terms of Use at any time with or without notice, and you can review the most current version of the Terms of Use online at any time at Terms of Use. If a modification is unacceptable to You, You may cancel the Service on the Site and terminate the Terms of Use by removing the Code and the Search Box from Your Site. If You continue to use the Code and/or the Search Box on any Site, You will be deemed to have accepted the modifications.

1.3 Your Obligations. You shall receive a Query from the End User and shall forward that Query to Google. You may not in any way frame, cache or modify the Results produced by Google, except as otherwise agreed to between You and Google. Google will not be responsible for receiving Queries from End Users or for transmission of data between You and Google's network interface. You shall be responsible for providing all hardware and software required to perform Your obligations under the Terms of Use, including but not limited to the following: (a) implementing and maintaining the Site, (b) implementing and maintaining the interface between the Site and the Service, and (c) receiving a Query from an End User and transmitting the Query to Google.

1.4 Appropriate Conduct. You shall not, and shall not allow any third party to: (a) edit, modify, truncate, filter or change the order of the information contained in any Results (either individually or collectively), including, without limitation, by way of commingling Results with non-Google provided search results or advertising; (b) frame any Results or Results Page except as provided for in the Service documentation; (c) display any Results in pop-up, pop-under, exit windows, expanding buttons, or animation; (d) display any Results to any third parties other than End Users; (e) minimize, remove or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of any Results Page (including any Results); (f) directly or indirectly access, launch and/or activate the Service through or from, or otherwise incorporate the Service in, any Web site or other means other than the Site, and then only to the extent expressly permitted herein; (g) transfer, sell, lease, syndicate, sub-syndicate, lend, or use for co-branding, timesharing, service bureau or other unauthorized purposes any Service or access thereto (including, but not limited to Results, or any part, copy or derivative thereof); (h) enter into any arrangement or agreement under which any third party pays You fees for the usage of the Service, You pay any third party feesfor the usage of the Service, or either shares in any revenue payments and/or royalties for any Results; (i) directly or indirectly generate queries, or impressions of or clicks on Results, through any automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means (including, but not limited to, click spam, robots, macro programs, and Internet agents); (j) modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code from any Service or any other Google technology, content, data, routines, algorithms, methods, ideas design, user interface techniques, software, materials, and documentation; (k) remove, deface, obscure, or alter Google's copyright notice, trademarks or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or provided as a part of any Service or any other Google technology, software, materials and documentation; (l) "crawl", "spider", index or in any non-transitory manner store or cache information obtained from the Service (including, but not limited to, Results, or any part, copy or derivative thereof); (m) create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product through use of or access to any of the Service or proprietary information related thereto; and/or (n) engage in any action or practice that reflects poorly on Google or otherwise disparages or devalues Google's reputation or goodwill.

7. Term and Termination.

7.1 Term. The term of the Terms of Use (the "Term") shall commence on the date upon which You add Code to Your Site and shall continue in force thereafter, unless terminated as provided herein.

In addition, either party may terminate the Terms of Use at any time, for any reason, or for no reason including, but not limited to, if You engage in any action that reflects poorly on Google or otherwise disparages or devalues the Google Brand Features or Google's reputation or goodwill. If You desire to terminate the Terms of Use, You must immediately stop your use of the Service.

7.3 Rejection of Application. Google shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any request to use the Service at any time and for any reason, and such rejection shall render null and void the Terms of Use between You and Google.

Neither party shall be liable to the other party for damages of any sort resulting solely from terminating the Terms of Use in accordance with its terms.

7.6 Remedies. You acknowledge that Your breach of service/license restrictions contained herein may cause irreparable harm to Google, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, You agree that, in addition to any other remedies to which Google may be legally entitled, Google shall have the right to seek immediate injunctive relief in the event of a breach of such sections by You or any of Your officers, employees, consultants or other agents.

8. Miscellaneous. Each party will comply with all laws, rules and regulations, if any, applicable to it in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Agreement. All notices will be in English and in writing and (a) if sent to You: to the address You may have previously indicated and (b) if sent to Google to: Google Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043. Notice will be deemed given (i) upon receipt when delivered personally, (ii) upon written verification of receipt from overnight courier, (iii) upon verification of receipt of registered or certified mail or (iv) upon verification of receipt via facsimile, provided that such notice is also sent simultaneously via first class mail. You will not assign or otherwise transfer Your rights or delegate Your obligations under the Terms of Use, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Google; and any attempt to do so will be null and void. Any assignment or other transfer of rights or delegation by You shall not operate to relieve You of Your responsibilities under this Terms of Use. You will require Your assignees, transferees, or delegates to agree, in writing, to the terms and conditions of this Terms of Use. This Terms of Use and any claim or dispute of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and applicable federal U.S laws, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different state. Each party agrees to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Santa Clara County, California. The parties specifically exclude from application to the Terms of Use the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. The Terms of Use supersedes any other prior or collateral agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any amendments or modifications to the Terms of Use must (i) be in writing; (ii) refer to the Terms of Use; and (iii) be executed by an authorized representative of each party. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect a party's right to require performance at any time thereafter; nor will waiver of a breach of any provision constitute a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, invalid or otherwise contrary to law, such provision will be interpreted so as to best accomplish its intended objectives and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The parties hereto are and will remain independent contractors and nothing herein will be deemed to create any agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between the parties. Neither party will be deemed to be an employee or legal representative of the other nor will either party have any right or authority to create any obligation on behalf of the other party. Neither party will be liable for failing or delaying performance of its obligations (except for the payment of money) resulting from any condition beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, governmental action, acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood or other acts of God, labor conditions, power failures, and Internet disturbances. The Terms of Use is not intended to benefit, nor will it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party. The Terms of Use will be binding on and inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. THE TERMS OF USE CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THE TERMS OF USE SUPERSEDE, AND THE TERMS OF THE TERMS OF USE GOVERN, ANY OTHER PRIOR OR COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.

Cookies and Other Automatic Tracking Technologies
Description of the Technologies Utilized on the Website: We may use various technologies to collect and store information when you access or use the Website, including sending cookies, embedded scripts, web beacons, pixel tags or other anonymous identifiers to your device, or otherwise tracking your activities on the Website over time. We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (a practice known as "behavioral tracking"). The information collected through these technologies, standing alone, cannot be used to determine your identity. Such information may, however, be combined in a way that makes it become personally identifiable information (i.e., information that can identify you). For example, we may tie this information to personal information about you that we collect from other sources or that you provide to us. If this happens, we will treat the combined information as personally identifiable information.

Cookies: The Website uses cookies, which are small text files that, within the scope of your visit to the Website, are transmitted to your browser and are stored by your browser on your computer for later retrieval. You yourself can determine, through settings in your browser, the extent to which cookies can be placed and retrieved. If you deactivate your setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of the Website may be entirely usable. Cookies are used to make the Website more user-friendly (known as "Necessary Cookies"). Without the use of these cookies, the number of unique users on the Website cannot be determined. Cookies also provide you with certain functions on the Website. In addition, cookies are also used for the website presence, which, for example, allows surfing behavior to be analyzed.

Third-party content, features or application providers may collect information: Some content (including advertisements), applications, or features on the Website may be served by third parties, including our third-party service providers, content providers, advertisers, ad networks and servers, and other application providers. These third parties may collect information about you when you use the Website using cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies. Please note that the information collected by these third parties may be associated with your personal information and that these third parties may collect information, including your personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. We do not control these third parties' tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

We may use third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of the Website. For example, we may use Google Analytics as one of our analytics service providers that tracks and reports website traffic. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page. To learn more about how Google collects and uses data here. To opt out of Google Analytics Advertising Features please use Google Ad Settings. To opt out of Google Analytics entirely please use this link.

We may use third-party service providers, such as Google, to display advertising content on the Website. When you visit the Website, a request is sent to Google and Google processes the domain name and the IP address of the Website visitor to dynamically return the advertising content of the Website. Google sets a cookie. The display of the advertising content is the primary purpose of the Website, and the setting of the cookie is technically necessary to provide the advertising content of the Website. The advertising content is not personalized, and no profile of the Website visitor is generated. You can prevent the setting of cookies by Google by setting your browser accordingly, in particular by suppressing cookies from third-party providers, and thus prevent cookies from being set. See here for further information: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Choices as to Cookies and Other Automatic Tracking Technologies: It may be possible to disable some (but not all) cookies or automatic data collection technologies through your device or browser settings, but doing so may affect the functionality of all or a portion of the Website. The method for disabling cookies or other automatic collection technologies may vary by device and browser but can usually be found in preferences or security settings. For example, iOS and Android devices each have settings which are designed to limit forms of ad tracking.

Conversion Tracking Pixel: Pixels from the following providers may be used for conversion measurement:

Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook");

Taboola Inc., 16 Madison Square West, 7th fl., New York 10010, USA ("Taboola");

Outbrain UK Limited, 5 New Bridge Street, London, EC4V 6JA, UK ("Outbrain");

Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 90, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter");

Snap Inc., 63 market Street, Venice, CA 90291, USA ("Snapchat");

TikTok Inc., 10100 Venice Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232, USA ("TikTok");

Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Pinterest");
(hereinafter each referred to as the "Provider", or collectively the "Providers").

By setting the conversion tracking pixel, the behavior of users can be tracked after they have been redirected to the target page by clicking on an advertisement. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Provider advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures.

The data collected does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by the respective Provider so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and the respective Provider can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with its own data protection guidelines. This allows the Provider to enable advertisements to be placed on their website and outside their website. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as a website operator.

You will find further information on the protection of your privacy as well as the possibility of revoking your consent in the privacy policies of the respective Providers:

How We Disclose Your Information
General Disclosure of Your Information: We may disclose or share the information we collect, including your personal information:

to our third-party service providers, vendors, partners, or suppliers so that they may provide support for our internal and business operations, including for data processing, data verification, data storage, surveys, research, internal marketing, delivery of promotional, marketing and transaction materials and Website speed, maintenance and security. For example, we use:

Google Analytics so that they can help us understand how our customers use the Website -- you can read more about how Google uses your personal information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Content Delivery Network ("CDN") services (such as Cloudflare, Inc.) to increase the security and delivery speed of the Website. With the CDN, content from the Website such as images, fonts, stylesheets, and scripts are delivered to you faster via a network of servers.

Please note that the list above is not exhaustive and that we may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, disclose the information we collect to third parties at any time, for any lawful purpose, without notice or compensation to you.

When we disclose the information we collect to third parties, such information will become permanently subject to the information use and sharing practices of the third party, and the third party will not be restricted by this Privacy Policy with respect to its use and further sharing of such information. Furthermore, these third parties may further disclose, share and use this information.

Circumvention of Security Measures: We use certain technical, administrative, and organizational security measures to keep your personal information safe. However, despite our efforts, please be aware that methods of transmission and electronic storage are not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the privacy or security of your personal information, as third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or electronic storage. Further, to the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures of the Website. Therefore, you use the Website at your own risk, you should not expect that your personal information will always remain private, and we do not guarantee the performance or adequacy of our security measures. In the event that an unauthorized third party compromises our security measures, to the extent permitted by law, we will not be responsible for any damages, directly or indirectly, caused by an unauthorized third party's ability to view, use or disseminate your personal information.

Your Additional Rights and Choices under the CCPA

The CCPA provides California residents (consumers) with specific rights regarding their personal information.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.

Comply with a legal obligation.

Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided.

Exercising Your Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights:

How to Exercise. To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:

Web: https://www.bodis.com/contact

Mailing Address: Bodis, LLC 4830 W Kennedy Blvd, Suite 600, Tampa, FL 33609

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

General Requirements. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. It must also describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format. We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact us at: https://www.bodis.com/contact. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination:

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services.

Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information's value and contain written terms that describe the program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

Other California Privacy Rights:

California's "Shine the Light" law permits users of the Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send a message to https://www.bodis.com/contact or write us at:
